RHZ Tutoring has been tutoring Primary School for families across Wyndham and the west from our Truganina centre, and Manor Lakes is one of the suburbs we see most. Below is how our Primary School tutoring works for Prep to Year 6, the topics we cover, and the practical details for Manor Lakes families.
Primary school is where the foundations for everything later are laid, and it is also where gaps are easiest to fix. A Year 3 student who is shaky on place value can be brought up to speed in a term; the same gap in Year 8 takes far longer because it has been built on. Our primary tutoring starts with a free online Skills Check, pitched at the top of the child's year level, so the tutor can see which of the year's skills are secure and which earlier skills need attention.
For maths, the Victorian Curriculum in the primary years is mostly about number: counting and partitioning, then addition and subtraction with regrouping, then multiplication, division and fractions, then decimals, percentages and the beginnings of algebraic thinking in Year 6. We spend a lot of time on number facts and mental strategies, because a child who has to count on their fingers cannot think about the problem in front of them. Measurement, shape, data and chance are covered each term in step with the school.
For English, the early years are about phonics and fluent reading; from Year 3 the emphasis shifts to comprehension (inferring, summarising, finding evidence), spelling patterns, grammar and writing. Our tutors hear the child read every session in the early years and teach writing explicitly in the middle and upper years: how to plan, how to build a paragraph, how to vary sentences, how to edit. NAPLAN in Years 3 and 5 is prepared for within the program rather than as a separate cram.
Primary sessions run for an hour and are broken into short segments, because attention spans are short. A typical hour might include ten minutes of number facts or reading aloud, twenty minutes of teaching on the current focus, twenty minutes of practice with the tutor watching, and ten minutes of a game or a quick check. Homework is small and specific, usually ten minutes a night, and you get a progress note after every session.
Small-group sessions (three to five children of similar age and level) are popular for primary because the cost is lower and children enjoy working with others. One-to-one is better for reading in Prep to Year 2, for children who are well behind, or for children who are anxious. Both run at our Truganina centre and online; for Prep to Year 2 we generally recommend the centre.
Manor Lakes is one of the newest estates in Wyndham, built around Manor Lakes P-12 College, which is one of the largest schools in the state. With that many students in a single school, families often tell us their child is doing fine on the report but they are not sure what that means. A twenty-minute drive is doable, but many Manor Lakes families take the online option and keep the drive for exam-time revision days.
Manor Lakes to our Truganina centre at 17/47 Apex Drive, Truganina VIC 3029 is about 20 minutes by car, via Ballan Road and Leakes Road. Online sessions run live with the same tutor, and we recommend them as the default for Manor Lakes families during the school term.
We tutor Primary School students from Manor Lakes P-12 College, Lollypop Creek Primary School, Wyndham Vale Primary School and Iramoo Primary School and other local schools, so our tutors know the pace and the assessment styles used in Manor Lakes.
Nearby Wyndham Vale, Werribee and Tarneit families join the same groups.

Every Manor Lakes student's program is built from the Skills Check result, drawn from these year-by-year topics. If your child's school is on a different sequence, the tutor follows the school and uses this list to check nothing has been skipped.
Small-group sessions (three to five students of a similar level) are from $25 an hour. One-to-one sessions are $35 to $45 an hour depending on year level, with VCE at the top of that range. Plans are monthly, you choose how many sessions a week, and you can cancel any time. The Skills Check and the consultation are free. Online and in-person sessions cost the same.
We take students from Prep. Early sessions are short, playful and focused on reading and number, and are almost always one-to-one.
The free Skills Check is the quickest way to find out. It takes ten to fifteen minutes online and shows, topic by topic, where your child sits against their year level. A tutor then talks it through with you at no cost.
For younger students, often yes: a session can be split. From Year 4 we usually recommend separate sessions if both subjects need work, so each gets proper time.
No. We teach to the same Victorian Curriculum and use the same methods and language for things like partitioning and regrouping, so the child hears one consistent message.
Small groups from $25 an hour; one-to-one from $35 an hour for primary. The Skills Check and the consultation are free, and there is no lock-in contract.
